If you wish an easy walk to the core this is the place for you! A variety of restaurants and sites are nearby including the shoreline. If you have an event at The Harpa Centre it is a brief walk or a short cab ride away! Enjoy the breakfast… it’s the best.

Hotel Cabin
The room and breakfast is pretty bare bones. Some rooms have no windows. Cheaply made overall and far from the city center
